Stanojević deals with the complementarity between Serbia’s exports of cereals and the import demand of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries. The markets analysis was conducted (including food safety indicators), and two different import-export matching coefficients were applied. The results showed high trade complementarity in terms of corn and wheat with all countries in the region, while for a few of them, it was barley.
The paper analyzes the performance of the Tunisian olive oil exports compared to its main competitors during the last fifteen years, on the European market and four potential markets. The authors Arfaoui et al. use the Shift Share Analysis to identify the main sources of change. The results show that the maintenance of a sustainable international competitiveness of Tunisia on the olive oil market depends on its domestic production and that of its Europ…ean competitors, to which is added recently the Turkish competition, policies and trade agreements that must be negotiated and requires the improvement of its non-price competitiveness.
A focus on the relative importance of the SDGs in the olive oil cooperative sector in Andalusia is analyzed by the authors Parrilla González and Ortega Alonso. They use the Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) technique and apply the fuzzy-set approach (fsQCA) to the tenets of the SDGs. The main findings of this study suggest that the sustainable development goals on which the cooperative societies analyzed are focused, in addition to producing olive oil, promote values linked to food security, sustainability, the showcasing of heritage, and gender equality.
Mohammadian and Niknami examine the existing knowledge and need by Damavand gardeners to produce organic apples. The results showed that in the planting stage, most of the respondents had very poor and weak level of knowledge. However, this need decreases with increasing issues such as level of education, use of information resources, level of cultivation and work experience. Finally, based on the Borich model, priority educational issues were identified to bridge the knowledge gap in order to produce organic apples in the planting, growing and harvesting stages.
Bechir et al. try to highlight the territorial development in the governorates of South-East Tunisia on the border with Libya. The objective is to show the existence of a direct relationship between regional disparity and work in informal trade. A survey will be made with the informal trade actors to analyze their situations and finally an analysis of the state intervention as well as recommendations will be proposed. Paper has shown that regional and local disparity is one of the causes of informal trade in the southeast and confirme that most of the players in the informal trade are unemployed young people.
The topic on interactive innovation in two case study in Spain dealt with by Lee et al. Rural innovation is addressed by measuring stakeholder interactions utilizing participatory methodologies to bring in diverse perspectives of stakeholders, who have control over the development and decision-making process. Results reveal that lack of communication among internal stakeholders was the main threat. Recommended action plans included establishing an effective communication strategy, establishing a well-defined terminology to avoid miscommunication among internal stakeholders and considering ethical and cultural differences among stakeholders to avoid mistrust.
Örs et al. deals with the economic impact of the use of robotic milking systems (RMS) adopted by the farmers in Turkey. A simulation model was created that gives possible economic analysis results because of the use of RMS by using the current economic analysis results of dairy farms. While the simulation results show that the use of RMS is a preferable investment that increases profitability for 10-60 head and 121 + head groups; it shows that it will be an investment that negatively affects profitability for the 61-120 head group. A dairy farmer considering an RMS investment can be able to obtain a result specific to his farm if he combines the simulation model with his own economic analysis results.
Makhlouf and Montaigne analyze the new Algerian dairy policy that obliges dairies already registered with the State to offer producers and collectors of raw milk formal and written contracts which must, in practice, help resolve or limit the multiple market failures. The paper shows exhaustively the nature of these formal contracts that bind dairies to their raw milk suppliers by using the tools of the theories of contracts and transaction costs. This review will shed light on contractual practices through a vertical coordination process of a dynamic sector propelled by the various supports and bonuses from the State. These contracts are nonetheless tools for structuring and modernizing the milk sector.
